Abstract

Aim Comparison of mean channels of cell volume, conductivity and light scatter (VCS) parameters of neutrophil, monocyte and lymphocyte, procalcitonin (PCT) and white blood cell count (WBC) during term and preterm labor to evaluate the impact of inflammation on the triggering mechanisms of uterine contractions.
